I’m in the minority, and by “minority,” I mean the only one on the staff who wanted to review the new Psycroptic album, The Pulse of Annihilation. Each member of the team has their reasons, specifically that they don’t like the band, but it is what it is. I do and have seen them live […]
2026 is shaping up to be one helluva year for brutal slamming death metal releases. Sickbay, outta New York, has released two prior albums and a plethora of EPs. My man Brian, in charge of Ossuary Industries, as well as Dakota, know the free agents in death metal. Seeing that Sickbay had been garnering some […]
Ravaged by the Yeti is the latest album churned out by the riff factory that is Rogga Johansson. By my count, this is his 234th project (I was told there would be no fact-checking), and I simply don’t know how the man does it. He seriously has nearly fifty bands listed as active on Metal […]
Solo French artist Antoine Scholtès has been productive with his Inherits the Void projects with an EP and 3 albums since 2021, and the 4th album, The Silent Abscission, was released earlier this summer. On album number 4, he is again joined by some session players, who are pretty well known; drummer Nico Muller (ex-Otargos, ex- […]
Vomepotro is a brutal death metal band hailing from Brazil. Fall into Decay is their third album and their debut on Brutal Mind, which is from Indonesia. If you know anything about Indonesian death metal, you know they like their death metal fast and over the top. Vomepotro is a band that, if you told […]
Nunslaughter has been spreading their joyful filth since 1987, when their Ritual of Darkness demo was unleashed upon the unsuspecting Death Metal community. Two fistfuls of various split albums were released until they put out their first full-length album, Hell’s Unholy Fire (2000). That’s when I first heard them, and I’ve been a fan ever […]
Inscribed is a new death/thrash metal band hailing from Florida and after a demo, released a nifty little EP In Silent Oblivion, in 2024. A three-piece band with Evie Austin (Cemetery Filth) on bass, Lucas Moore – drums/vox and Mario Alvarez shredding on guitar. If you’re into bands like Sadus, Warbringer, Cynic/latter Death, you will […]
Sweden’s Sarcasm has been knocking about since 1992, starting out as a death metal band, but as they progressed, they changed their sound to a more melodic black metal sound similar to Dissection, Necrophobic, Unanimated, Naglfar, etc. Their last album, Mourninghoul, was back in 2024, which I never got around to hearing despite being familiar with […]
I reviewed Minnesota’s doom death band Red Vinter’s, last several releases, and now they have returned with their second full-length album, Ghost in the Fog. James Achilles on Drums, Mike Bullock -Vocals, Bass, Dylan Jones – Guitars (lead), and they welcome Erik Chrissis into the fold on Guitars. What was established on their EP’s and […]
Even though I have SiriusXM in my truck, I don’t often listen to it, unless I’m with the spousal unit listening to the Lithium channel, or just too lazy to connect my phone and listen to Spotify or all the promos I have on my phone. But occasionally I’ll throw on Liquid Metal just to […]
There have been cover bands since the dawn of music. Now, I realize that Left to Die is a bit more than just a cover band. The band features Death alum Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, as well as Matt Harvey, who also basically has another Death cover band in Gruesome. For years now, they’ve […]
After unveiling a new lineup and a slightly heavier, darker sound on the 2024 Inane Ducum EP, Canada’s epic /symphonic black metal act Atavistia is back with a new full-length album, and their style has changed again, albeit a little more subtly. The band has always been a Wintersun/Ensiferum-worshipping entity, but now, with a distinct […]
It’s safe to say that, for the most part, Swedish Black Metal sounds nothing like Norwegian Black Metal. Marduk sounds nothing like Satyricon, nor does Satyricon sound like Dark Funeral. Flykt are from Sweden, Stockholm to be precise, formed back in 2016 apparently. It’s also safe to say I’ve never heard them before… until now. […]
We have covered Chicago’s death metal veterans a lot here at Teeth of TeethoftheDivine. I mean a lot; 3 interviews, 5 album reviews. I personally haven’t really dug into them since 2011’s Kill on Command, still their best album in my humble opinion, and I have not reviewed them since 2013’s Terror Regime. They released […]
I have reviewed Chicago’s brutal death metal band Embryonic Autopsy’s last two albums. Here we are with album three – Rise of the Mutated. How well does this stack up against their past efforts? Well, read on for that info. Staying intact for the last several years has made the brutal quartet more cohesive; that’s […]
Colorado’s Stormkeep had a nice little glow up on their debut album, Tales of Othertime, back in 2021. The symphonic black metal band with members of Wayfarer and Blood Incantation put the genre and world on notice that the US has indeed entered the chat. But then nothing for 5 years, other than an instrumental […]
Mork has been spreading their disease since 2007. That’s a pretty long time in dog years to be sure, but those years have sharpened their sound to a razor-sharp edge, and with Monolitt, their follow-up to 2024s Syv, they are bringing more ferocity to the table and some absolutely deadly riffs to boot. For those […]
Slovakian blackened death metal act Goholor (enochian for ‘ascend’) has been around since 2016, but Locus Damnatorum is their debut album. Either way, they are new to me, but on this debut, they have dropped one of my favorite albums of the year so far. Leaning a little more into the death side of blackened […]
When I listen to music, and especially when I review it, I make sure to administer a few tests. These include the headphones/workout test, car test, background music test, and the early morning test. Most of those don’t need an explanation, but I’ll elaborate as the new Bloodhunter album, Sons of the Abandoned, recently endured […]
Desolus, outta the MD/DC area, are back with album #2, Dwellers of the Twilight Void. I reviewed their debut in 2024, System Shock, and really enjoyed their take on classic German thrash metal. Bileh Dougsiyeh is welcomed into the fold as the new drummer. Their previous drummer, Travis Stone, has moved from drums to guitars […]
After a 12-year layoff, Germany’s preeminent Swedish-style death metal veterans, Fleshcrawl (who I am now learning were called both Morgoth and Suffocation back when they started, and finally switched to Fleshcrawl for obvious reasons), reemerged into the fray with the solid Into the Catacombs of Flesh back in 2019. And now, after 7 years, some […]
Brutal slam veterans, Devourment, have been quiet, having not released new material for a number of years. I reviewed their last album, Obscene Majesty, back in 2019, and what a crushing onslaught of music that was. Then,BAM! Out of nowhere this 3-song ep, Pious Impiety, drops, and here I am reviewing it. With a very […]
I’ll give you one guess what a new super group featuring Devin Swank on vocals (Sanguisugabogg), Eric Morotti on drums (Suffocation), Derek Boyer on bass (Suffocation), and Rich Nagasawa on guitar (ex-Dehumanized) AND features guest vocal spots from Frank Mullen (ex-Suffocation) sounds like? Yeah, if this thing were any more New Yawk, it would say “I’m […]
Back on my review of Wielded Steel‘s killer Sins of Your Domain EP, I rattled off a bunch of hardcore bands I had/have been jamming, including two French bands: Glassbone whose Ruthless Savagery EP is also killer, and Beyond The Styx, who have been around for a while with 3 other albums and some EPs […]
Norway’s Trelldom is back with another mind-boggling release, filled with cosmic horrors and coiled malevolence. Gaahl (Gaahls Wyrd, ex –Gorgoroth) has this Black Metal Midas touch that ensures anything he releases is going to be at least amazing. …By the Word… is a bit of a slower-paced album than 2024’s…By the Shadows… (which I covered […]
